**Deal Done: Anthony Elanga Signs €55M Contract with Newcastle United from Nottingham Forest**
In one of the biggest transfer moves of the summer, **Newcastle United** have officially secured the signing of Swedish winger **Anthony Elanga** from **Nottingham Forest** in a deal worth **€55 million**. The 22-year-old, who impressed last season with his blistering pace and attacking flair, has signed a **five-year contract** that will keep him at St James’ Park until **June 2030**.
The deal, finalized after days of advanced negotiations, marks a significant statement of intent from Newcastle as they continue to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025–26 season and a return to European competition. Elanga’s arrival brings added firepower to Eddie Howe’s attacking options, with the club eyeing a top-four Premier League finish and a deeper Champions League run.
A product of Manchester United’s academy, Elanga joined Nottingham Forest in 2023 and quickly became one of the standout performers in the Premier League. He registered **9 goals and 11 assists** last season, earning praise for his work ethic, versatility, and maturity on the pitch.
In a club statement, Elanga said: *“Newcastle is a massive club with big ambitions. I’m excited to be part of that journey. I want to keep improving, help the team win trophies, and make the fans proud.”*
Newcastle sporting director **Dan Ashworth** hailed the deal as a “crucial addition,” adding: *“Anthony is young, hungry, and already proven at this level. He fits perfectly into our project.”*
Elanga will wear the **No. 17 shirt** and is expected to join pre-season training immediately. With this marquee signing, Newcastle continue to show they are serious contenders, both domestically and in Europe. For Elanga, it’s a major step forward — and for Forest, a lucrative exit for one of their brightest stars.
